entertainments.


 "The German" Spectacular minstrels ap- peared before a large audience at the New Haven Opera House last evening, with many of the favorites of Haverly's old company in the bill. The first part was of the usual or- der, nothing new being presented to relieve the monotony of the regular entertainment of this class. Tears of joy coursed down the furrowed cheeks of gray-haired men in the audience as they recognized in the old-time jokes the sayings of the minstrels of their happy days. The jokes were well rendered. however, and received with good grace. Of the succeeding numbers on the programme s'The Dancing Musketeers" were excellent, executing the manual of arms and bayonet exercise with remarkable precision. MT. B. M. Hall manipulated the banjo in his inim- itable way, receiving we'll deserved applause. The entertainment closed with "The Golden Ball." bright and pleasing extravaganza. The selections by the orchestra were good, the euphonium solo by Mir. Geo. W. Franck- um being particularly well rendered.

The New york Denocrat..

SARATOGA, Sept. 29.-On reassembling at noon the Democratic State convention adopted appropriate resolutions on the deaths of Tilden and Seymour. After all the members of committee on resolutions had met in response to Dorsheime1's sum mmons they agreed by a vote of 23 to II on plank endorsing the federal and State ad- ministrations in uphelding the civil service laws, but declaring as there is such diver sity of opinion on the general subject of civil service, that measures should be taken by the legislature to submit the question to the people. Previous to the full meeting those present, about nineteen in number, had adopted resolution opposing the civil ser- vice policy. This was what led to the sum- moning of the absent members. The final action of the committee may therefore be re- garded as compromise between the posi- tion of Tammany Hall and that of the thick and thin administration men. Secretary of State Cook was unanimously renominated and Senator Edward Wemple was nominated for comptroller by exclamation. Lawrence J. Fitzgerald was nominated for treasurer by exclamation, as was Charles F. Tabor for attorney general John Boject was nominat- ed for State engineer and surveyor by accla- nation at o'clock the convention adjourned sine die

GOOD NEWS
To American Electric Stockholders
 An Extra Dividend Coming.

 An Extra Dividend Coming.
 BOSTON, Sept. 28.-Kie1nan's Wall Street Financial News agency reports the business of the American Electric Manufacturing company of New York in a most hourishing condition and making rapid headway in ex- tension and profits. Kiernan says: "The next regular quarterly dividend will be de- clared in October. The profits of the eompa- ny warrant an extra ten per cent. dividend, which will be declared payable in stock, i.e., on all even amounts of ten shares or multi ples thereof held by one person each ten share lot would receive one share, the idea being not to divide up the dividend stock into fractional parts or shares" The extra stock dividend will be in addition to the regular quarterly cash dividend and will be paid to all stockholders of record at time next dividend is declared. This early announce ment will permit present stockholders to eveE up by buying enough to make even amounts of ten shares or multiples thereof or scaling down by selling to those who want to even up as indicated. The company, it is stated, have no stock for sale, therefore the method mentioned is the only way for stockholders to secure the full advantage of the extra divi- dend. The company has more than doubled its business during the present year. One hundred tons of American apparatus was shipped to Australia last week. Large ship ments are also being made to Canada and Europe

THE TAX COMMISSION.

Another Meeting Held and Petitions
 For Abarements Heard-Actfon Tak-
 en on Several Petitions Hut the Re
 suits Not Given out.
 The tax commission held their second meeting in rooms 10 and ii City Hall last evening Attorney w. P. Niles appeared as attorney for the three executors on the will of Edward s. Rowland, deceased, asking for the abatement of interest on certain assess ment lien for about S2O0. This lien had escaped the notice of an expert who had ex amined the records in 1875, Mir. Rowland having before the filing of the lien on the property, which is located on Exchange street, taken deed, and the grantor alleged that the property was free from ell incum- brances. MT. Rowland borrowed $2,000 from H. B. Ives on the property. MT. Row land told MT. Ives that the property was free from all incumbrances, as he believed 1t to be. The records were supposed to have been examined at the time, but escaped his nos tice. MT. William E. Rowland, the acting executor, paid in 1885 taxes to the amount of $60 and supposed that he paid everything in the way of liens against the property, and was not informed of the presence of this lien on the property until three months ago. He has never been officially informed of any lien. It had lain for over thirteen years.
 Benjamin Moves appeared and was heard partly in regard to desired abatement. He will appear before the committee again when h1s case will be heard fully.
 The committee went into executive session which was very protraeted one. At it's close the committee informed the reporters that they had discussed and taken action on several petitions, but they had voted not to make their decisions public until their report went to the council
